What is SWIFT CODE?
The Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication (SWIFT) (also
known as ISO 9362, SWIFT-BIC, BIC code, SWIFT ID or SWIFT code) is a standard
format of Business Identifier Codes approved by the International Organization
for Standardization (ISO). It is a unique identification code for both financial
and non-financial institutions. (When assigned to a non-financial institution, a
code may also be known as a Business Entity Identifier or BEI.) These codes are
used when transferring money between banks, particularly for international wire
transfers, and also for the exchange of other messages between banks. The codes
can sometimes be found on account statements. SWIFT and BIC codes are basically
the same.
The SWIFT code is 8 or 11 characters,
Example: BBBBUS3MXXX

BBBB 4 letters: Institution Code or bank code.

US 2 letters: ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 country code

3M 2 letters or digits: location code

If the second character is "0", then it is typically a test BIC as opposed
to a BIC used on the live network.

If the second character is "1", then it denotes a passive participant in the
SWIFT network

If the second character is "2", then it typically indicates a reverse
billing BIC, where the recipient pays for the message as opposed to the more
usual mode whereby the sender pays for the message.

Where an 8-digit code is given, it may be assumed that it refers to the primary
office.
